Gas Phase Filtration Global Market Report 2026

Gas phase filtration is a process that employs chemical substances to eliminate harmful gases from the air. A sorbent is utilized to absorb these chemical substances and remove them from the air, effectively purifying the air and providing protection against corrosive and odorous elements. This method is particularly employed for the removal of hazardous gases present in the air.

There are two main types of gas phase filtration such as packed bed filters and combination filters. Packed bed filters are designed with a fixed layer to facilitate intimate contact between gases, utilizing methods such as sand filtration, distillation, absorption, and mixing. Various filter materials, including granular activated carbon, potassium permanganate, and impregnated activated carbon, are employed in this process. Gas phase filtration finds applications across different industries, with end-users including the pulp and paper industry, chemicals and petrochemicals industry, metals and mining industry, food and beverages industry, healthcare industry, utilities industry, semiconductor manufacturing industry, and others. The versatility of gas phase filtration makes it a crucial process for ensuring air quality and safety in various industrial settings.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are impacting the gas phase filtration market by increasing costs for imported activated carbon, chemical media, filter housings, and precision filtration components. Semiconductor manufacturing, chemicals, and utilities sectors in North America and Europe are most affected due to reliance on high-performance imported filtration media. Asia-Pacific suppliers also face export cost pressures. However, tariffs are encouraging local production of filtration media, development of alternative sorbents, and strengthening of regional supply chains.

Rising concerns over air pollution are expected to drive growth in the gas phase filtration market. Air pollution, which contaminates the air with harmful substances, has become a major health and environmental issue. Gas phase filtration helps remove odors and gaseous pollutants in buildings, hospitals, workplaces, and other spaces without requiring modifications to existing HVAC systems. For example, in 2024, the World Health Organization reported that low- and middle-income countries experience 3.68 million premature deaths annually due to ambient air pollution-nearly eight times higher than the 0.47 million deaths in high-income countries. Consequently, increasing awareness of air quality issues is propelling demand for gas phase filtration solutions.

Leading companies in this market are developing portable gas phase filters to address localized air quality concerns in confined or mobile environments. Portable devices provide flexibility for residential, automotive, and small commercial applications. For instance, in January 2023, Panasonic, a Japan-based electronics and automotive company, launched the nanoe X portable in-vehicle air cleaner. The device removes odors and helps prevent viruses, germs, mold, and allergens both in the air and on surfaces, creating a healthier environment inside vehicles.
